Welcome to Gaia! ::

Michelina smiled softly, "I don't believe we've met before." She holds out her paw, grinning happily. "My name is Michelina Giovanni. It's quite the pleasure." She always left out her second name, since it was the only thing that would keep her identity a secret if she was ever revealed as a vampire. Though... she was quite sure that would never happen.

Out of the corner of her eyes she noticed Amaro. About time... Though she guessed it was better being late then never. Hm. Curious...

And another one caught her eye. Though she didn't keep her eye on them for very long, she knew she wouldn't be able to miss Nalleme. So... it was time....

Cry Wolf gave a soft smile, and rather than shaking Michelina's hand, she held her paw for a moment with both of her hands, then let go. "A pleasure.. My name is Cry Wolf Giovanni." She turned to look up at Amadeo as he gave his speech, her eyes focused on him. As she finished, she turned to Michelina. "Shall we?" she asked, an arm held out toward her.

She was sure that, this being the Giovanni manor, theyd be served only the finest foods and wine- a life she was accustomed to. She herself lived rather well, in a home of rich woods and rare fabrics, though not as grand as the manor.

((whoot whoot, masquerade! i so excited.))

((Im going out to dinner.. Im just going with a friend that works at the restaurant, so ill try to hurry up and come back during the masquerade. biggrin ))

Knuvxy finally arrives and is extremely worried. The trip took longer then she had expected and it caused all her plans to be off course. Being late is not a good first impression. Especially with members of her family she has never even met. As she creeps into the main foyer she can't help but have a bit of an amazed look come on her face. She always thought her mother's Mansion was large after the tiny home she lived in as a child, but this felt like she was feeling that same thing all over again. Her mother's mansion seemed like a pebble next to the mountainous size of the manor.

She pushes back any expression that might have snuck on her face and moves a loose hair back. She hopes her bun she put her hair in would hold, but he hair never would keep up for her so she doesn't put too much thought on that. Instead she made sure to keep her posture proper and concentrated on what was before her. She looked at the time, then the schedule she held. "I completely missed probably the most important part of this. Don't bother with it now. Just try and fix the mistake." She tells herself and heads further into the main foyer towards the others who were going to the Dining room.

The charming little nymphae gave her most dazzling smile to Amadeo as her fingers clutched around the paper gently, tucking it up her sleeve into her gown deftly with two fingers. "I thank you for your hospitality, and I am sure that I will quite enjoy my stay here." She dipped him a formal curtsy, knowing that he would be amused by it.

Strolling back in, she bumped into what seemed to be a pretty meanki in a mask. Not as pretty as herself, but not bad. "Hello there, I am Nalleme Giovanni. You must be a cousin from the far side of the family, as we've never met."

{-Okie-dokie! Announcement. Once the word is finished being spread we'll move along to the next day which will be the day of the Masquerade. I'm also going to extend this event so it will last until we get everything done. That way it is easier for everyone who can't be here straight-away. I thank you all for your participation thus far. It shows us that we chose right since there is a lot of promise in the Kats chosen and the Roleplayers who represent them. So thank you all very much. n-n -}

Smiling at the quick narrowing of eyes that she knew for anger, Nalleme quickly reworded herself. It wouldn't do to make enemies here. This wasn't like other places. "No no, I simply meant that we were not as closely related as I am with some others, for I haven't met you yet is all. Please don't take offense." Her eyes sparkled brightly, and she alighted on another new face. "Oh, and here is another I have yet to meet!" She slipped her hand from Cry Wolf's, and rustled over to the newcomer.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." Though it might have been, Nalleme was all social calculation. Already she knew that the friendlier she was, the more favor she would cater with the scions of the family. And that was everything.

"A pleasure, Love." Cry Wolf said quietly as Nalleme went to greet the new-coming fae. She curled her tail around her feet, holding her hands together with her fingers loosely. She looked around the room, looking for someone to socialize with and perhaps influence. Manipulate was such an ugly word..

She stood between the foyer and dining room, admiring the manor. She touched the wall lightly, looking out at the other kats with a small grin. She looked around for Amadeo, hoping to catch a word with him.. Or, she thought, maybe shed catch him at the masquerade. Shed acquired a lovely mask, and was eager to show it off. Like most Giovannis, she loved dressing well and showing her wealth, especially at large, grand gatherings where she could be admired by others.
